Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 24, 2026

Orlando's three-game season series with Cleveland had been a mixed bag of tight contests and blowouts, with combined totals ranging from 212 to 250. This matchup proved decisively different: the Magic and Cavaliers combined for 267 points, clearing the 230.5 market total by 36.5 and landing DAGGER's pregame over call squarely in the money.

The game's shape told the story of offensive dominance early and defensive tightening late. Combined scoring jumped to 71 in the first quarter, setting an aggressive tone, before moderating to 69 in the second. The first half alone yielded 140 combined points—a pace that suggested a shootout. The second half, however, belonged to the defenses. Q3 saw just 62 combined points, then Q4 added 65, as both teams' scoring rhythms slowed considerably. Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 42 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists, while James Harden added 26 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists. Paolo Banchero paced Orlando with 36 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists; Evan Mobley chipped in 19 points and 9 rebounds for the hosts. The Cavaliers pulled away late to win 136–131, a five-point result that masked the offensive firepower both squads showed in the opening half.
